I often bake with palm shortening - gives a really nice texture & those NATURALLY hydrogenated oils are turning out to be good for us after all :) I already use Montina, another from the GF & drought resistant grasses research in Montana, 'cause my daughter got a big box! I like it with sorghum & coconut flour for a more whole grain taste!! Gluten Free RN recommends using 'nutrient dense' grains, inc Montina & Teff, to add more body & nutrition to our GF concoctions.

But, I like trying new things and this one sounds interesting--but also a bit temperamental. The cookies look really good. Thanks for sharing on the Calling All Cookies exchange!

I've been wondering about that boy! Figured he must have found a new girlfriend or something. :-) Cid,

I like the organic olive oil and non-soy version, but they are all good for baking. Check the website for the different options. http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/organic/ I have to tell you Sheila, I can't wait for you to get your hands in the dirt and start blogging about it! Hurry up, sell your house and get back to your farm! :-) xo Sheila,

It's rich and full of healthy protein, but since I don't use all bean flour (I create a mix of GF flours), I never notice a beany taste. I made some brownies from the Babycakes NYC Bakery with bean flour and people went nuts over them. It's a good flour to play with whether you're GF or not. And yes, even though you're a gluten-cootie girl, I'm happy to share my parallel universe of alternative grains with you. Come on over, it's spectacular over here! Lo,

I like going back to basics and love the fact that these farmers are "reinventing" traditional grasses and grains. Sometimes that old fashioned stuff is the best! Erin,
